Are You Ready for Tyke Hike Season 2015?

The 2015 Tyke Hike season is only a week away and there's plenty in store for everyone. I can't give away all the surprises, but let's just say the hikes will be more interactive, will include more post-hike activities, and maybe include a special guest or two along the way.

Please tell your friends, spread the word, but most importantly, COME ON OUT and enjoy the beauty nature provides us all year long.

P.S.- Details for each specific hike are available the at the Waukesha/Milwaukee County Chapter of the Ice Age Trail Alliance's Facebook page. (https://www.facebook.com/iatawaukmilw)

WHAT
ARE TYKE HIKES?

Tyke Hikes are short, slow-paced
hikes promoting nature and family hiking in an outdoor educational setting.
Families with children of all ages are encouraged to come experience
Wisconsin’s outdoors as they explore portions of the Ice Age National Scenic
Trail. Led by Peter Dargatz, a kindergarten teacher and volunteer for the Ice
Age Trail Alliance’s Waukesha/Milwaukee County Chapter, each session will focus
on a particular nature-related topic on a leisurely trek on the trail.
Post-hike educational materials and certificates for the children will also be
provided. Hikes typically last 60-90 minutes and cover up to 1.5 miles in
length.
